This league will improve the skill and confidence of each player in the sport of soccer, while developing character through teamwork and encouragement.
What is PSO?
Prestonwood Sports Organization was established in 1999 to provide an opportunity for children to learn about soccer, sportsmanship and teamwork in a loving and supportive atmosphere. PSO focuses on developing essential fundamental skills while providing fun and competitive games. We require that all players play half of every game.
Coaches
PSO leagues strive to make every child a champion. Therefore, PSO coaches are led to encourage, motivate, and build each child’s self-esteem as well as his or her athletic ability.
All PSO coaches are required to complete a thorough background check by PBC. Please click HERE for more information.
Practice Schedules
Coaches, along with input from the team, will determine the location and time of your child’s practices. Coaches will not schedule more than two practices per week.
League Schedules
This will be an eight game season beginning Saturday, August 29th and ending Sunday, November 15th. Regularly-scheduled season games will be played on Saturdays. The post-season tournament for qualified U7, U8, U9, U10, U11 and U12 teams will be held following the last game of the season.
Game Locations
All games are played on our PSO soccer fields, sized for the individual leagues. The PSO fields are located along Plano Parkway, west of Midway.
Team Formation
Teams are formed based on age and ZIP code. PSO accepts full or partial teams. Players will be placed on teams after the final registration deadline. A player CANNOT be assigned to a team unless the online registration is complete and payment has been received. There are three player placement possibilities:
1. Player Pool – Players entering PSO who are not on an established team will be placed on teams as close as possible to their ZIP code and/or school. Please indicate any special notes in the “Preferred Coach” section of online registration.
2. Draft Pool — Players who register after the February 8th deadline will not be guaranteed placement on a team. Consideration will be on a “first come, first served” basis depending on the number of openings on current teams. Otherwise, players might be placed on a newly-formed team based on the availability of a coach.
Age Brackets
Participants will play in the corresponding age division. Please use the chart below to determine the age group you will be placed in. Please abide by these age groups.
